[Bug 546250] Re: Confirmation dialog not localized

[Axel Beckert]

Hrm, that close dialog works for me with the latest aptitude version
with the German localization more than perfect: It just accepts J or N,
but no more Y. It rings the terminal bell if I press Y.

Then on the other hand, the following enforced prompt does ask for Y or
N instead of J or N in German:

LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 aptitude reinstall -P htop
Die folgenden Pakete werden ERNEUT INSTALLIERT:
  htop
0 Pakete aktualisiert, 0 zusätzlich installiert, 1 erneut installiert, 0 werden entfernt und 0 nicht aktualisiert.
74,9 kB an Archiven müssen heruntergeladen werden. Nach dem Entpacken werden 0 B zusätzlich belegt sein.
Möchten Sie fortsetzen? [Y/n/?]

Title:
  Confirmation dialog not localized

Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: aptitude

  The confirmation dialog in spanish '[S/n]' also confirms with 'Y'. If
  the dialog and the options are localized, then it follows that 'y'
  should be an invalid confirmation character.
